Big Agnes

"I'm a big fan of our Big Agnes Bunkhouse 4."
"I have the Big Agnes Copper Spur HV UL3 which fits me and my golden retriever."
"It's my 'glamping' backpacking tent."
"I have a Big Agnes Wyoming Trail 2 tent that I use for car camping, it's got a huge 'front porch' area that’s good for shade and sitting out rainy days."
"I switched up to a Tiger Wall 2 and it’s a hella lot of tent for 1.2kg."
"No complaints using it car camping and backpacking so far."
"It's been amazingly sturdy for how light it is."
"Big Agnes copper spur."
"If you are backpacking you want to go as light as possible. The Big Agnes Copper Spur is the most mainstream ultralight tent."
